HEAD COACH STAN VAN GUNDY
On the big defensive plays down the stretch to secure the win:
“Overall, I probably thought it was our worst defensive game of the year. We didn’t do a great job getting back. We didn’t do a good job keeping the ball out of the paint. We could’ve been better, but you’re right: down the stretch, we played good defense. We made shots tough, and we did a good job down the stretch. When we needed it, we got it. Actually, when we got back and got set, we weren’t awful defensively.
